Miraloma Elementary "Wall of Inclusion"
|
 For Inclusive Schools Week, Miraloma Elementary School took inspiration from the
"Walls of Empathy" that have recently appeared in San Francisco, New York, and other cities. Students used over two thousand sticky notes to cover the hallways of their school in messages of hope, love, and peace.
With best-selling children's book author and illustrator
Todd Parr's help, students were encouraged to include images on their notes in the style of Parr's artwork. Kindergarten through fifth grade classes participated, with some classes creating self-portraits for the wall while others answered questions inspired by Parr's book, such as "What does peace mean to you?"
Inclusive Schools Week is an annual, nationwide event which exists to encourage and celebrate "the progress that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students who are marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economic status, cultural heritage, language preference and other factors."

Create. Build. Support.
We did it, Miraloma! In just one short week, we came together as a community and generously gave
$26,665
to support our school. That money was doubled by some families from the Dragon Circle for a total of
$53,330!

| FUNDRAISING: Host a Sign-Up for Auction 2017! |
 What is a Sign-Up? It is a party/event hosted by Miraloma families as a donation to the auction. At the auction, people sign up for parties by bidding on a slot.
Last year these
"Sign-Ups" brought in over $100,000 at our auction - about a third of our total earnings! We hope we'll get as many fun Sign-Ups as possible for our upcoming auction on March 4, 2017!
What kind of Party/Events can you host? Whatever you like! Adult-only, kids-only, or family events. In the past, we've had Italian, Indian, Peruvian, Caribbean, and Brazilian food-fests, beer and wine tastings, Dutch and South American cocktail parties, and game nights for the adults. For kids, there have been science, Lego, duct-tape, bowling, sleepover parties, and a lot more. Contact us for more information/ideas.
